A Note on Non-BPS Black Holes in 5D

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-04-29 v2

Abstract

We study the possibility of constructing non-BPS charged black holes in 5D Poincare supergravity by partially violating superconformal Killing spinor equations. However, solutions to these modified first order equations are inconsistent with the second order equations of motion beyond the near horizon region. Instead we find, for special prepotentials, that the consistent asymptotically flat extension of the non-BPS near horizon solution is generated by a symmetry transformation that leaves the two-derivative action invariant.
